I know it's already a busy off-line month for you guys, but I will be in the TO area for a few days and as always would be interested in a get together. Wednesday the 6th or Thursday the 7th, the latter being the slight preference. Let me know.

I'm sure we can figure something out, steve. Either out or dinner at someone's place. Doesn't matter to me.

I'd be happy to host, if you're staying downtown.

I would be interested in attending on either of those dates if you'll have me.

I'd love to join you guys, but I"m going to have to take a pass on this one. I expect to be out west at the time.

We'd be happy to have you, andrew. I know basecadet is in as well, so that makes four of us.

Let's plan for a 7:30pm start at my place. Andrew, send me an email at your convenience and I'll give you directions et al.

My address is my posting name at rogers.com.

thanks futronic! which date will it be then? I'll send the email tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to it!

Sorry, dinner with be on the 7th, since that's steve's preference. Looking forward to it!

Have fun guys. I will likely be out of town.

So dinner Chez Fut on Thursday night? Any wine theme or hints as to what you're cooking? I'll send you an e-mail to get directions.

Thursday sounds great to me. Steve, so you want me to bring the 3 bottles I have for you?

Yes please.

Steve,

I'm going to try to do as much stuff as possible on the BBQ. Likely steak, maybe veal or lamb. Maybe some eggplant and polenta as well.

Not sure about apps. Bring whatever you like.

Send me an email with where you're staying and I'll get back to you ASAP with directions.

Back in the burbs after a long train ride. I had a great time tonite! Delicious food, tasty wine,and great company! Thanks Fut for making it possible. I look forward to getting you guys out here sometime soon!

Glad you had a good time, andrew, and that you were finally able to make it out to an offline! Hope to see you out again soon.

Always a pleasure to have the regulars over as well. Will post the wines and notes tonight.

Thank you Fut for hosting, another great evening! Good to see Steve8, Basecadet and Andrewf again. Cheers, MW

Thanks again Fut for being such a great host.
Great night, and great seeing Steve8 & Mwaters again and nice to meet AndrewF.

Sounds like a fun night. Looking forward to the wine list and TNs!

Another excellent wine evening with members of the TWC. Thanks for hosting Futronic, good seeing everyone and meeting you Andrewf. I would say the Allegrini La Poja was my WOTN.

I would write the list, but I can't recall all the details. Fut definitely has them all.

Sorry for the delay ... here's the wine list:

2003 Planeta Chardonnay
2002 S.A. Huet Vouvray Demi-Sec
1997 Altesino Alte d'Altesi
1996 CVNE Imperial Rioja Gran Reserva
2001 Grant Burge The Holy Trinity
1998 Allegrini La Poja
1991 Croft Vintage Port

My WOTN was the La Poja, even though I thought it was a little young. Will show better in a couple years. The Holy Trinity was a close second on my list.

Notes to come eventually.

O.K Futronic, your time is up. Lets have the notes! I'm curious to see your note on the 96 CVNE Gran Reserva...

Futronic,

Where you been?

I thought you were in rehab, hit by a bus or swimmin' with the fishes!

Busy at work, man.

I'll try for notes tonight.

Al,

I've posted notes on the CVNE. The rest will have to wait until I get a bit of time to play catch-up.

Thanks Fut.
